Chapter 290 Space Arrangement
As more than 300 tons of high-quality jadeite raw stones were absorbed by the ring, a piece of blank black land with a length and width of tens of meters appeared on one side of the land that originally had a space of only more than 80 acres.
This kind of land increase was deliberately set up by Hou Xiaoge, otherwise the size of the space would be expanded from all around, which would be not conducive to the current layout of the space and land.
As the light from the ring stopped, the space of the fairy ring increased by nearly thirteen acres of land, and the space land reached the level of one hundred acres.
After the space stabilized, Hou Xiaoge returned immediately and suddenly felt that the sky had become a lot higher, reaching more than 200 meters.
Hou Xiaoge stood at the highest point of the space warehouse and looked down. It really fits the saying that it is lonely at the top.
It's a pity that the recovery of the ring did not bring any other substantial benefits. Hou Xiaoge's mental power and teleportation skills remained the same as before.
Jump down from the space warehouse and stand in the sky a hundred meters high looking down.
A large part of the land in the original space is no longer used to grow food, but instead is used to grow medicinal herbs that take a longer time to grow.
Chinese medicinal materials grow slowly. Even if there is space to accelerate the time by twenty times, many medicinal materials still take three or four months to grow.
These medicinal herbs include vines, grasses, and trees, so the area where they are grown looks like a lush jungle of weeds when viewed from a high vantage point.
Beyond the medicinal materials area, a piece of land of about 30 acres appeared, where the main crops grown were high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes.
There are other varieties of grain as well, but they only occupy a few acres of land. Wheat and rice only occupy two acres at most.
After all, the space is no longer focused on growing food, unlike last year when there was a particular food shortage.
Therefore, the main task of these thirty acres of farmland is breeding, and also to grow feed to feed the livestock in the space.
After more than a year of cultivation in the space, which is equivalent to twenty to thirty years in the outside world, the seeds of crops in the space have a higher yield when planted outside than in later generations.
No chemical fertilizers are needed, just ordinary manure can produce about 800 kilograms of wheat and 1,500 kilograms of corn per acre.
Of course, these were all experiments that Hou Xiaoge conducted secretly outside, and he did not spread them around.
Because Hou Xiaoge does not know how to use genetically modified technology, these seeds can be saved. Later, we will have to find someone specifically to create a gene that limits the amount of seeds that can be saved so that they can be released.
But business is business and patriotism is patriotism.
The grain output these days is really too low. For example, in ordinary paddy fields in Henan Province and Guanzhong, the yield of one acre of wheat is only more than 300 kilograms in a good year, and only 100 to 200 kilograms in a bad year.
After deducting the investment in seeds, there is not much return after a year due to such output.
Hou Xiaoge's idea was to wait until the founding of the People's Republic of China and the state system was stable, and then he would donate lower-specification seed mother plants weighing 500 to 600 kilograms to the country.
These seeds do not require chemical fertilizers. As long as there are 300 kilograms of manure per acre of land, 500 to 600 kilograms of grain can be produced. It is really a great deal.
However, although Hou Xiaoge thought so, it was probably difficult in reality. The manure from a family of five and a pig could barely cover four or five acres of land.
But according to his understanding, many families cannot afford to raise a pig.
Across the farmland area, on a land of less than ten acres, a building more than ten meters high stands tall, looking very shocking.
This building was built by Hou Xiaoge with a lot of effort and space energy over the past few months.
The entire building is made of steel. The bottom is supported by ten-meter-high triangular iron pillars, and above the iron pillars is an open-air platform of more than 6,000 square meters paved with iron plates.
In order to build this building in the past few months, Hou Xiaoge has almost used up all the steel in stock.
Ling'er was exhausted from forging with the earth fire at the space mountain pass. The energy stored in the space to fill the jade had been used up over the past few months.
Continuing forging may cause the space to shrink, which is why Hou Xiaoge is anxious to collect the raw jade.
There is no other way around this. The one acre space warehouse in the sky is not enough, so we can only build warehouses on the land in space.
But storing it directly on the land is a waste of land, so high-rise warehouses are built directly in the empty space.
At present, the upper space is used to store some high-quality fine grains, meat, fruits, fresh medicinal materials and other perishable materials. Most other materials are directly stacked in this large platform warehouse.
At a glance, the warehouse of more than 6,000 square meters was less than one-fifth filled with goods, and even seemed a bit empty.
But the most eye-catching are Hou Xiaoge’s two personal aircraft, a Mustang fighter and a C54 transport plane.
What was left were piles of various metals, artillery pieces, weapons, and dozens of miscellaneous supplies, piled four or five meters high.
In the southernmost corner of the platform is a 100-square-meter steel house, which is Hou Xiaoge’s vault.
Originally, the vault was set up in the space warehouse on the upper floor, but time and space were still there, and Hou Xiaoge usually only stayed there for three or four minutes at most, as his body could not adapt to any longer stays.
So, just move the vault to the lower warehouse.
As for why not just place it there but build a house instead.
Nature is a person's psychological activity towards wealth, for the sake of safety and concealment.
Now in this space, besides the residential area on the top of the mountain, Hou Xiaoge’s favorite place to go is the vault.
After all, nothing can make people feel more physically and mentally happy than seeing iron shelves filled with golden bricks and bars neatly arranged.
The vault now holds more than four tons of gold and gold bars, of course most of which were taken back from the little Baga.
Now most of the space in the vault is empty. Hou Xiaoge's long-term goal is to have 5,000 tons of deposits. Of course, this goal will take a long time to achieve.
Across the warehouse platform is the breeding area. Half of the area is used to raise two thousand chickens. Common livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep are raised in small quantities and bred and selected.
As for why we mainly raise chickens, of course it is because eggs are the most expensive. If the space flow rate is adjusted to 20 times, one month is equivalent to 600 days.
Two thousand chickens can provide Hou Xiaoge with at least two million eggs a month. Don't ask why there are so many, space breeding can produce two eggs a day.
An egg costs at least five cents. These 2,000 chickens can earn one hundred thousand dollars a month, or one million dollars a year. It's a real chicken butt bank.
The feed used is only the grain output of a dozen acres of land in the space, and this grain can be sold for only one-tenth of the price of eggs.
After wandering around the space, Hou Xiaoge always felt that something was missing.
It was not until he looked at the flat land that Hou Xiaoge realized that there were no trees.
It turned out that the hawthorn trees and other fruit trees planted by Hou Xiaoge were later cut down in order to grow food and medicinal herbs. Now, except for a few medicinal trees in the medicinal area, the space is indeed very disharmonious.
"Ling'er, let's plan the newly added land. Ten acres will be used to grow fruits, and the other three acres will be used to expand the reservoir at the foot of the mountain." Hou Xiaoge turned his head slightly and said to Ling'er who was standing on his shoulder.
"Okay, Master!"
As Ling'er agreed, the fruit cores or fruit varieties that were originally stored on the branches flew to the empty land.
At the same time, the original two-acre small reservoir at the foot of the mountain seemed to have suddenly expanded by more than twice, frightening the fish inside and making them boil.
“Yes, there are mountains, water, fruit trees, farmland, and livestock.
This kind of life cannot be realized outside for the time being, but it can be realized in the outside space by avoiding decades of detours. "Hou Xiaoge looked at the adjusted space and said to Ling'er with satisfaction.
"Young Master, you humans have very complicated thoughts. If it were me, my only goal would be to collect energy, and then practice martial arts well to break through the void and live forever as soon as possible." After waking up, Ling'er often consulted the books collected by Hou Xiaoge, and now she is also very knowledgeable.
"You don't understand, if a person's life is just for these things, it would be too monotonous.
Even a being as powerful as your original master, the Immortal Qingwei, is still subject to the drives of a higher level.
Otherwise, this celestial ring would not be cheap for a mortal like me." Hou Xiaoge said softly, with his hands behind his back, feeling the sound of the plants growing hard in the space.
"Yes! Qingwei Immortal is so powerful, but he still has to struggle for a living. After millions of years of struggling, he is no different from an ordinary person." Ling'er also felt emotional.
“So what we need in life is to enjoy life while we can, and enjoy ourselves while we are young and surrounded by friends and family.
I now have a life span of more than 200 years. Otherwise, after these people have died a hundred years later, I would not be able to think like this alone. "Hou Xiaoge smiled as he thought about his current family and friends.
"Well! But young master, you'd better collect energy as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late to make up for it after your body ages." Ling'er nagging.
"I'm only eleven years old now. If you count the time wasted in the space, I'll be less than fifteen at most. There's no rush." Hou Xiaoge wants to live at his own pace and doesn't want to be a puppet of the ring that collects energy.
"All right!"
Back to the top of the space hill, there is an open-air underground fire forging platform next to the adobe courtyard. Twenty meters away from the platform is a spiritual spring with steam rising from it.
Next to the spiritual spring is a three and a half mu spiritual field, planted with rare semi-spiritual medicinal herbs and spiritual tobacco leaves. On the ground is a peach tree that has transformed into a semi-spiritual level.
Hou Xiaoge spent a lot of effort to cultivate this thing, just to see if it has the legendary effect.
But it is only one meter tall now. Even with time acceleration, five years have passed and the peach tree has not even opened a bud.
Ling'er said that this was because the recovery capacity of the space was too low, and it was very difficult to cultivate semi-spiritual medicines, so they had to grow slowly.
But Hou Xiaoge was not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry to eat.
After eating a chicken stewed with magical medicine in the space, Hou Xiaoge returned to the outside world.
"Run, run!" Hou Xiaoge had just left the jungle and was about to board the plane back when several voices came from the woods in the distance.
Hou Xiaoge was also a little curious, so he quickly climbed up a big tree and waited to observe.
Soon, more than a dozen soldiers wearing Kuomintang military uniforms rushed out of the woods. Their clothes were tattered and most of them were covered in blood.
Four or five minutes after these soldiers ran past, hundreds of mountain people with relatively dark skin and dressed like savages chased after them with guns.
